Soap dispenser



Aug. M 1934. w. e, GRANKSHAVV SOAP DI SPENSER Filed Dec. 3, 1932 INVENTOR W/LLM/l I G; MaSf/AW ATORNEY be fed through the opening 13 in such quantities as may be desired. In practice it is customary to turn the cover 18 with one hand while holding the other hand in a soap receiving position under the dispenser.

It may here be noted that the receptacle 16 has a longitudinal seam forming a rib 21 which is arranged to fit in a groove formed by a flute 22 in the clamping sleeve section 10, the purpose being to provide a simple and efficient means for preventing the receptacle 16 irom turning in the holder.

It will be understood that when the complete body of soap has been dispensed and a new supply is to be provided, then the empty receptacle 16 may be destroyed, whereupon a new and full one is substituted. Under certain circumstances, however, it may be found preferable to also constitute the receptacle 16 as a permanent part of p the apparatus, in which event the soap would be filled into it in any manner found convenient.

It is understood that suitable modifications may be made in the structure as disclosed, provided such modifications come within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Iaving now therefore fully illustrated and describedmy invention, what I claim to be new and. desire to protect'by Letters Patent is:

1. A dispenser comprising a holder having a rigid support portion provided Witha slot for the discharge of dispensed material, a replaceable container removably mounted on the said support portion, means for relcasablysecuring the container to the holder, a cover for the container,

means for rotating the material in the container, and a stop device engageable with a projection of the container to prevent rotation of the'latter.

2. A dispenser comprising a fixed support member having a discharge opening therein and adapted to support an open end receptacle placed thereon, a semi-cylindrical clamping section disposed above and rigid with respect to the support member to receive the receptacle, a second semicylindrical clamping section hinged to the first mentioned section to further receive and engage the receptacle, means for releasably connecting the sections to thereby secure the receptacle in place on the support member, and means for rotating material in the receptacle to efiect its discharge through said discharge opening.

3. A dispenser comprising a fixed support member having a discharge opening therein and adapted to support an open end receptacle placed thereon, a semi-cylindrical clamping section disposed above and rigid with respect to the support member to receive the receptacle, a second semicylindrical clamping. section hinged to the first mentioned section to further receive and engage the receptacle, means for releasably connecting the sections to thereby secure the receptacle in place on'the support member, a turnable cover for thereceptacle, and a device fixed'to the cover so as to be rotatable therewith, and extending down into the receptacle to rotate the contents therein to thereby efiect the discharge of such contents through said discharge opening.
